30/07/21 - Doug O'Connor Retires
Wombwell Town Director of Football, and one of the founders of the club, Doug O'Connor has decided to retire after decades of service in football.
Doug made the announcement shortly after the Daniel Wilkinson Trophy game, in which he took charge of a Wombwell Town XI which included former Shaw Lane players and Wellers Stars. Doug, who was Director of Football at Shaw Lane until they folded in 2018, announced to fellow officials: "I've had 60 years in the game and now it's time to give some more people a go. I will still come down and watch Wombwell Town now and again. The club is going forward and I'm sure it will go places. I'm glad to be have been apart of it."
Doug's career in football started when he represented Barnsley Boys and went on to play for Barnsley over four seasons, scoring 7 goals in 36 appearances. He also played for Mansfield Town and Scunthorpe United. When Doug hung up his boots he embarked on a long coaching career and in recent years he stepped in to take temporary charge of Shaw Lane.
When the Ducks folded in 2018 Doug was instrumental, along with Karl Rose, in setting up Wombwell Town and acted as Assistant Manager for the team's first two seasons. Doug also oversaw the creation of the Under 19 team for the 2020/21 season, which later became the Under 21 for the season coming.
The Club wishes Doug (and wife Linda) the happiest of retirements and thank them for their hard work over the last three years with Wombwell Town.

29/07/21 - Wellers to Stay in Division One
Following the County Senior League AGM it was confirmed Wombwell Town will remain a Division One side for a third season. Despite, gaining promotion in the 2019/20 season before Covid curtailed the league, followed by a washed out 2020/21 season, the Wellers will have to battle it out in Division One for another season to once again gain promotion to the Premier Division.
A decision to reduce the Premier League to 14 clubs means there was no space for the Wellers to be promoted. The top division had 15 teams during the 2020/21 season, however Davys have folded ahead of the new season.
The new season will begin on September 5th. The complete list of teams to compete in Division One has yet to be confirmed.

27/07/21 - Daniel Wilkinson Trophy
Last night a Wombwell Town XI including nine former Shaw Lane team mates of Dan Wilkinson, played against Luke Forgione's Worsbrough Bridge Athletic team for the Daniel Wilkinson Trophy.
Dan Wilkinson collapsed and died almost five years ago while playing for Shaw Lane in a cup tie at Brighouse due to a condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).
Wombwell Town Director of Football Doug O'Connor, who held the same position at Shaw Lane, invited Dan's former team mates to take part and nine were able to visit Doug's new Club for the first time.
Doug took charge of the Wombwell Town XI with former Shaw Lane Assistant Manager John Reed alongside him in the dugout.
It looked as though there would be goals galore after ten minutes with the game already standing at 1-1 after Worsbrough took the lead on five minutes through Alfie Dodsworth as he curled the ball past Jordan Watson from the edge of the area.
The equaliser came just five minutes later as Alex Byrne, one of the former Shaw Lane stars currently with Matlock Town, did what he did best and supplied the perfect cross for Matty Thornton to head home into the corner.
No more goals came until four minutes into the second half when a piece of mis-control by Watson outside of his area gifted Luke Francis with a chance to score into an empty net, he duly obliged.
Despite late pressure from the Wellers players, through a series of corners and free-kicks no clear scoring chance arose and Worsbrough captain Ross Pritchard was presented the Daniel Wilkinson Trophy by former Shaw Lane Chairman Craig Wood.

01/07/21 - Worsbrough Bridge Friendly - The Dan Wilkinson Trophy
Wombwell Town are proud to announce that our friendly against Worsbrough Bridge on Monday 26th July will be in honour of Daniel Wilkinson.
Dan was just 24 when he collapsed and later died from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) whilst playing for Barnsley-based Shaw Lane AFC on 12th September 2016.
Wombwell Town’s Director of Football Doug O’Connor and Committee Member David Exley were both club officials at Shaw Lane at the time and helped set up The Dan Wilkinson Trophy which was competed for between Shaw Lane and their opponents that evening, Brighouse Town.
When Shaw Lane folded in 2018 the Trophy was kept safe for a time when another memorial game could be played.
Daniel’s parents, Barry and Gill, set up the Daniel Wilkinson Foundation in their son’s honour and spend many hours raising awareness, providing funding for heart screenings for 14-35 year-olds and donating lifesaving defibrillators to grassroots sports clubs.
Barry and Gill both visited Wombwell Town in 2018 to hand over a new defibrillator to Doug O’Connor, so the new club could help any player or supporter should it ever be needed.
In early May of this year Worsbrough Bridge announced a partnership with the Foundation, with their logo emblazoned proudly on their away kit, for the 2021/22.
With Shaw Lane JFC merging with Wombwell Town over the summer the idea of playing a money-raising friendly for the Dan Wilkinson Trophy was raised and following discussions with Worsbrough Bridge this was quickly agreed.
The friendly will take place on Monday 26th July with a 7:30pm kick off at Wombwell Recreation Ground.

28/06/21 - Under 19 Team Switch to Under 21
Wombwell Town Football Club will be represented at Under 21 level for the 2021/22 with Manager Jack Butterley looking forward to the challenge in what will be a strong division.
This announcement also means the Under 19 side will not be taking part in a league for the new season after finding out the Northern U19 Alliance League had folded.
The Club’s U19 side, led by Ryan Smith last season, played just three competitive matches – with the final game not actually counting towards the league after it had seemingly been abandoned already.
It is hoped that a select number of players from last season will stay with the club to form the new Under 21 side who will compete in the North Midlands Development Football League.
Following the league’s AGM last week, the new side have been placed into the North Division along with local side Worsbrough Bridge U21. The furthest trip will be to Dronfield Town in the midweek league where matches will probably be played on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday.
The NMDFL North division currently has eight teams with a further 15 teams in the Central and South divisions including Gainsborough Trinity and Retford United.
Players who are interested in training with the Under 21 squad with a view to join us can contact Jack Butterley on 07533 006262.

08/06/21 - Wombwell Town FC Adds Junior Teams
Wombwell Town FC are delighted to announce that our Club is growing once again this summer.
Last summer we introduced an Under 19 side which gave teenagers a pathway into the first team, but plans of introducing younger sides were curtailed because of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Over the past few months a lot of hard work and discussion has been spent on how we can make our Club bigger and better in our community.
When our second pitch was rejuvenated thanks, in part, to funding from the Football Foundation we were able to offer the playing space to Shaw Lane JFC who had some of its junior teams struggling for a pitch.
This friendship has become a partnership and we are delighted to announce that both clubs have now merged to become solely Wombwell Town FC.
Six of Shaw Lane’s Junior teams, ranging from Under 11s to Under 16s, as well as brand new sides at Under 7s, 9s and a second team of Under 12s will now play under our banner for the forthcoming season.
We are thrilled to welcome the officials, coaches, parents and especially the players into our Club and we hope they love their time with us and progress as far as they can within the Club. Who knows! Maybe a future Premier League star could be amongst them?
Wombwell Town volunteers have arranged FREE football coaching sessions for each Saturday in June, with the first a great success last Saturday. Children between the ages of 5-9 can attend the sessions held at Wombwell Recreation Ground from 10am to 11:30am on the 12th, 19th and 26th June.
You can read more about the on our dedicated Junior Teams page or go to In the Community for details on our first FREE session.
The Club will also be hosting a Junior Football Tournament on the weekend of July 24th and 25th July where local junior teams from U7s to U12s can take part. If you're a junior team and interested in taking part please email Andy at wtfcsponsorship@gmail.com or check out the poster below.

05/05/21 - Withdrawal from the League Cup
On Tuesday 4th May Wombwell Town informed the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League that they would be withdrawing from this season's League Cup with immediate effect.
With two matches left to play in the group stage it was proving difficult to find the players registered with the Club available for these games.
The original game at Oughtibridge was postponed for the same reason and the team had struggled to find a squad for the games against Dodworth MW and Denaby Main.
Unavailability has been due to a number of reasons including: injuries, the players' need to work after a wretched 15 months due to the Covid pandemic, holidays, and players leaving the Club during the past 9 months.
We apologise to the supporters for the Club having to make this tough decision, however we will look to strengthen on and off the pitch over the summer so we can compete to the best of our ability next season.
With the results expunged by the League we have decided not to include any player appearances or statistics from the League Cup in the record books, although the few league matches from the Null and Void 2020/21 season will be kept.
